Mosquitoes
Aedes, Culex, and Anopheles spp.
How to Identify
- High-pitched whining or buzzing near ears at dawn/dusk
- Itchy, raised bites that appear after outdoor time
- Standing water in gutters, saucers, birdbaths, or low-lying drainage areas
- Adults resting in dense shrubs, tall grass, or shaded decks in daytime
Health Risks
Primary disease vectors; capable of transmitting West Nile virus, eastern equine encephalitis, dengue, Zika, and malaria depending on species and region; bites cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Bites cause itching and allergic reactions; West Nile virus has been reported regionally, so older adults and immune-compromised residents should take precautions. Mosquitoes are the primary biting nuisance in Asheville summers.
Our Treatment Method
Source reduction (eliminate standing water), larvicide treatment of remaining water sources, adulticide perimeter spray or misting-system treatment to knockdown resting adults; professional barrier programs.
We use source reduction and larviciding for breeding sites plus targeted barrier sprays along yard perimeters and shaded vegetation; seasonal mosquito programs are tailored for river-valley and wooded properties.

Prevention Tips
- Empty and refresh birdbaths, pet bowls, and flower pot saucers at least weekly.
- Clean and flush gutters regularly to prevent water accumulation.
- Install or repair window and door screens to keep adults out.
- Apply EPA-registered insect repellent (DEET, picaridin, or IR3535) when outdoors.
- Mow tall grass and trim dense shrubbery where adults rest during the day.
- Empty and refresh birdbaths, pet bowls, and plant saucers at least weekly
- Clean and flush gutters regularly to prevent water pooling after mountain storms
- Grade low spots where water collects and keep drainage paths clear on sloped lots
- Trim tall grass and dense undergrowth where adults rest during the day
- Use EPA-registered repellents (DEET or picaridin) for evening yard work or hikes
Habitat & Behavior
Females breed in any standing water — gutters, birdbaths, tree holes, low-lying puddles, and containers holding as little as a bottle cap of water; adults rest in dense vegetation and shaded areas.
Local Prevalence
Mosquitoes are abundant around Asheville, especially near the French Broad River, low-lying yards, and any standing water pockets in the valley and hollows. Summer humidity and afternoon storms in the mountains amplify populations.
